ok I'm wicked pooed thanks to crappy sleep! But I just need to say OMG ANGIE you don't know what a Lorry is??? Ok I know I still have like 3 pages to read and someone probably already told ya but they are semi-trucks. I only know cuz I thought long ago when I first heard it that it was referring to Lorry the bird (like parakeets)...why the hell would someone wanna drie around BIRDS????

Now you should ask yourself, what makes a semi truck SEMI??? (thinking semi-sweet chocolate chips! Looks like a full-fledged truck to me! :P

mmm speakin of chocolate chips I could really use some cookies...mmm cookies

Thanks to everyone - I know I need to chill. I am TRYING. I promise.

Stephjim - that is very cool about your sister. I think you should definitely put it around your belly at night. Nothing wrong with that AT ALL. You asked about my last pg betas - 18DPO - 521, 21DPO - 1744, 23DPO - 3024 (or something like that). Not as high and didn't quite double the last time... but who knows.

Shantala - I think it's sweet that you want your baby stuff to smell like you, like home!! What more welcoming way to greet your baby! She will be so comforted. :)

Angel - thanks for the stern talking-to. I need it. One of my friends today gave me a similar talk - "get your head on straight" kind of a thing. She THINKS she's my 2nd mom (16 yrs older than me) and boy, she doesn't hold back - and I love her for it! --- you too - firm & direct... it's what works for me. Thank you. :)

Su - Congrats on slowing the week down to 3 days!! That's fabulous! I wish I could already!! Glad you're buying some stuff. Let us know when u decide on the pram, I am clueless and hoping that you all will give me some direction!!

Nims! I think you're right about the worry... only I think will just change shape once they're in our arms! Ya know?! Are they sleeping ok, what was that cough? Are they breathing ok?? - then the really scary stuff, like it's 15 min past curfew, where in the heck are they?!! :) I guess that's just what we signed up for, eh? Ah the joys of motherhood. Congrats on getting some purchases done!!

Hi to everyone else. I'm tired and waiting for my mom to get on Skype so I can show her the piccies from today.... which btw.... here's my little GIRL's first piccie!

Boys don't say YIPPEE! So it must be a girl. ;) (the tech put that on there, I didn't have an option... :roll: )

YAY!!!! Ruby is probably well on her way by now!! Lots of hugs & kisses to you Rach!!! Will be thinking and prayin for ya all day :wink:

beck!!! nice of you to drop in every now and again....even if you don't say HELLO to EVERYBODY --- still nice seeing you :P (i'm giving you shit.....hope you know that!!! how goes the d/r??? poor dh still on the receiving end of MOOD SWINGS???)

hope --- oh yeah, that's for SURE a baby girl!!!!!! cuz you're SO right -- boys don't say "yippee!!" ha, ha, ha!!! i totally get the whole wanting for a GIRL thing........same thing in my house -- already have dss's, dh AND our murphy dog ---- ALL BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shantala --- hate to go here here again, but what the heck is a moses basket??? and did ya get the one you went and looked at for really cheap???????

steph ---- hope you made it thru all of our reads to see that yes, shantala enlightened me to what a LORRY is!!! had NO CLUE!!! :shock: i don't think i saw one single "hell sucks" in your reads --- WTF?? you lovin it these days???? ha, ha, ha, ha!!!! kidding............. ok - so another question on "timing" --- did you have your insemination of DAY OF your surge (when you were still POAS - OPK's) or day AFTER?? i swear i'm going to drive myself crazy trying to figure out the PERFECT TIMING!!!! :roll:

hey nims!! good to see you hun.......ok, i know i'm a little slow -- but what are NAPPIES??? like diapers?? cuz i initially thought they were probably just little wet-wipe thingy's -- but then you started talking about size!!! and i'm all "like size matters????!!!!" (and you KNOW "they" say it doesn't ladies!!!!) boy - i am on a roll this morning!!!

su --- you and nims need to just get your butts in gear and get your prams purchased already!! silly girls..........i'm sure you'll be quite happy with whatever you end up with considering the amount of research you've done!!! oh yeah, thanks for the info on IUI stuff too..........so i guess i'll pose same question to you as i did steph ---- what day was your actual insem??? day OF your surge or day AFTER???

stephjim ---- back to work for you today girl!!! hope your first day back is a good one!!

chriss ----- i'm DYIN over here!!!!!!!!!!!!! how did the mock transfer go girl?????

let's see --- what else.............can't think of anything earth shattering at the moment, so i guess that's it for me (for now)!!! a GIANT shout out to all my "peeps" out there!!! ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!! (john said that on john & kate +8 this week - made me laugh!!) doesn't take much to amuse me eh???
